Had Indy held onto any portion of that 21-0 lead, the Raiders would still be questioning themselves as legitimate contenders for the AFC West.

They stunk offensively against the Chargers the week before and here they were getting pounded by a Super Bowl contender on the road. Now it has all changed.

They overcome a 17-0 deficit in last year's finale against the Chiefs and now this Herculean effort. Before these same Raiders would have mailed it in but now Gruden's got them imagining they could actually win the damn thing!

Throw in the 3rd easiest schedule in 2000 and it pains me to project the Raiders making the post-season in 2000.

Go Broncos this Sunday!!!!!

They need to be b***h slapped by somebody before they get to far ahead in the divison. They still have to do this over a 16 game cchedule and they may turn into the old faiders over time.
